Hi EagleKing,

I unfortunately don't know what is causing it... I'm fighting with a similar problem when I mirror a face I'm working on... somehow some extra faces is added... and somehow they drag in the original half of the face causing its getting a bit weird an extra dark in some places...

unfortunately I don't know the solution to the problem... but if nobody answers... I will return when I have figured it out...

hopefully someone knows the answer... user added image

Check to make sure your normals are all facing the same way..

@EagleKing

Did you play with the default lambert shader?
-might have happened without knowing-
Can we see an Attribute Editor Screenshot for both objects?
